Today’s training session on First Aid and Basic Life Support was led by the insightful Dr. Jyothsna Prabhat, Assistant Professor, Department of Anaesthesiology and Critical Care, CDSIMR, Harohalli.
We covered the fundamentals of first aid care, including how to treat various types of bites and wounds, how to properly bandage a fracture, and how to respond effectively during emergencies. We also learned how to handle seizures with care and composure—an important and often misunderstood aspect of emergency response.
A key highlight of the session was understanding the correct method of administering CPR, with clear, step-by-step guidance that made this life-saving technique easy to grasp.
Dr. Jyothsna also helped us bust common myths around first aid and emergency care, and patiently clarified all our doubts, making the session both practical and engaging.
A heartfelt thank you to Dr. Jyothsna for an empowering and enlightening session!
